Body
BACKGROUND
The City executed a two-year contract, with two one-year renewal options, with METCO Engineering, Inc., Brown & Root Industrial Services LLC, RS Commercial Construction, LLC and 3i Contracting, LLC to provide job order contracting services for facility projects from January 9, 2019 through January 9, 2021.
This action will authorize the first of two, one-year renewal options with (1) METCO Engineering, Inc.; (2) Brown & Root Industrial Services LLC; (3) RS Commercial Construction, LLC; and (4) 3i Contracting, LLC. This action does not encumber funds. Upon approval of a job order, the funds for services are to be encumbered from project funds, operating funds of a project, or funds from the Department receiving services.
Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an alternative contracting method that provides an option to address construction, repair, rehabilitation, and alterations at City owned buildings. Texas Local Government Code, Section §271.120 added by Acts 2001, 77th Legislature, chapter 1409, §5, effective September 1, 2001.
On July 18 and 25, 2018, the request for proposals for job order contracting services was advertised in accordance with City of Dallas purchasing guidelines. On August 17, 2018, ten proposals were received by the Office of Procurement Services. The Proposal Evaluation Committee was comprised of staff from the Building Services, Aviation, and Public Works Departments. The Proposal Evaluation Committee evaluated and ranked all proposals according to evaluation criteria published with the project specifications:
• 20% Capabilities, Resources and Responsiveness
• 12% Contractor’s Pertinent Experience
• 20% Contractor’s Approach to the Project
• 10% Contractor’s Current Contracts
• 3% Litigation
• 20% Contractor Coefficients
• 15% Business Inclusion and Development
METCO Engineering, Inc., Brown & Root Industrial Services, LLC, RS Commercial Construction, LLC, and 3i Contracting LLC were selected by an evaluation committee as the most advantageous proposers to the City, in accordance with the City of Dallas procurement guidelines.
No quantity or value of work is guaranteed to the contractors in the program. Contractors are awarded Job Orders based on their expertise and experience with the type of work to be performed, proposed construction cost, and ability to perform the work within the scheduled time. Job Order amounts are determined from a City selected price book and the application of contractor provided coefficients (discount multipliers). JOC provides a method for starting and completing work that is significantly faster than other types of construction delivery methods. The City pricing standard is the current version of RS Means - Facilities Construction Cost Data with updates and adjustment by City index.
